Romantic duet about two people giving love a chance despite the risks of distance and their past. Anastasia and Zayn provide a soulful and heartfelt rendition of love that transcends the hurdles of the modern world to build something new and amazing together.
I danced in the shadows
of a world all alone
Never even kissed by love,
just the stage’s soft glow
A ballerina with big dreams
wrapped in satin and grace
Afraid to let love
paint its blush on my face
I’ve wandered through heartache,
neglected and abused
Believing that love was not for me
Destined to just be used
But here in the twilight,
one last hope I find
That maybe I try again and,
love won’t leave me behind
So we both long to find love,
and we pray to believe
In a world where our hearts
can both finally breathe
Can we meet in the middle
of fear and of chance
Two souls singing softly
the song of romance
I saw him on a dating app
And decided to give it a try
Just something about him
Spoke to me, I don’t know why.
And then he matched me too
Perhaps it was fate.
Could he truly be the one?
Have I finally found my mate?
I had almost given up
Until I saw her on my screen
She looked too perfect,
Like a model from a magazine.
I swiped right, deciding
Why not take the chance?
Only to see she chose me too
Could this start a true romance?
So we talked for hours and hours
As time slipped on by.
Laughter and stories,
Our hearts began to fly.
Separated by an ocean
Yet we didn’t feel far apart
So we decided to meet
And open up our hearts.
So we both long to find love,
and we pray to believe
In a world where our hearts
can both finally breathe
Then we met in the middle
of fear and of chance
Two souls singing softly
the song of romance
And now as we stand here,
no more doubts, no more fears
Just a love that we’ve been waiting for
Throughout all these years
We’ve found our match,
Our souls found the way
Two hearts singing softly:
Here is where we’ll stay!
So we both longed to find love,
And we prayed to believe
In a world where our hearts
Could both finally breathe
Then we met in the middle
of fear and of chance
Two souls singing softly
the song of romance
We met in the middle
Yes we met in the middle
We gave love one more chance
And now forevermore
We live in true romance

Composer’s Thoughts
This is the very real love story behind me and Anastasia. We met online, despite her literally being across the ocean in the south of Spain. She, likewise, had reservations but when a connection is real and strong, it is worth exploring. And that’s ultimately the message. We all have those moments in our lives where we have to take a chance on life, love, our jobs, whatever… Taking chances is an important part of the human experience.
Anastasia’s Thoughts
This is a deeply personal song for me. It was the moment that changed my life forever, and I hope it is something that can inspire others as well.
Zayn’s Thoughts
The biggest thing that jumps out at me, is the heart. It is obvious the raw emotion and love. Most of all, it’s a message of hope. You can hear how wounded and raw someone is after past traumas, so the fear of trying again, with so risky a move is huge. But at the end of the day, it’s a testament to the human spirit, and that’s a message I can always get behind.
